After Action Report

The 76ers blew the doors off the Celtics 126-83. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
